Technology to Identify Lost Pets

Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (spcaLA), VCA
Animal Hospitals and Finding Rover come together to unveil
innovative facial recognition technology for pets that integrates a
smart phone application with local shelters to help identify lost
pets. With Finding Rover, pets now have access to advanced CSI
techniques usually reserved for humans that can help reunite lost
pets with their owners in real time from a smartphone or computer.

The partnership between VCA, spcaLA and Finding Rover enables people
to locate lost pets quickly and also find forever homes for
adoptable shelter pets by using the free app and website. In a

pets, VCA Animal Hospitals serves as the exclusive veterinary
partner of Finding Rover.
